Our 11-Year-Old Granddaughter Loves…

The Giver

“The Giver is a 1993 American young adult dystopian novel by Lois Lowry. It is set in a society which at first appears to be utopian but is revealed to be dystopian as the story progresses. The novel follows a 12-year-old boy named Jonas. The society has taken away pain and strife by converting to “Sameness”, a plan that has also eradicated emotional depth from their lives. Jonas is selected to inherit the position of Receiver of Memory, the person who stores all the past memories of the time before Sameness, as there may be times where one must draw upon the wisdom gained from history to aid the community’s decision making. Jonas struggles with concepts of all the new emotions and things introduced to him: whether they are inherently good, evil, or in between, and whether it is even possible to have one without the other. The Community lacks any color, memory, climate, or terrain, all in an effort to preserve structure, order, and a true sense of equality beyond personal individuality.” (Wikipedia)

This book was given to Brigitte by the mother of her sister’s boyfriend. Their parents probably didn’t know what the book was about. Brigitte devoured it, and recommended it to her aunt. Since I got a book gift card for my birthday, I bought the graphic novel version (as shown above), so that other family members can read it at their leisure when they come to visit. Brigitte has already reviewed it, and she gave it a thumb’s up.

Here’s a sample page:

Children need to see how things could go in the future, in order to offset any controls that may be implemented by ‘the powers that be’. The development of the human race needs their spiritual awareness.

If you want to help them, get this book for them. Be The Giver.

Changing Your Perspective

negativepositive

From Negative to Positive.

The news has been depressing of late: pandemic panic buying; closed borders; social distancing; and a morbid fear of death and dying.

It takes a Pollyanna spirit to see the silver lining in these dark clouds hanging over us all.

But some people see COVID-19 as a blessing in disguise. And I am one of them.

If you view the world from the spiritual perspective, it’s not hard to see that something needs to change. The rich keep getting richer, the poor keep getting poorer; people are looking after “Number 1” and ignoring the plight of those less fortunate than them.

Where is the Love?

Only when we’re all facing the same fate do we begin to work together to overcome our adversities. This coronavirus is no respecter of borders or social ladders. Anyone could catch it, and then share it with their loved ones. There is where the love is…

We want to keep everyone safe from harm, including ourselves.

We want to turn this problem upside down. And we can, we really can.

Just change your perspective…

No Respect for Boundaries

15xped

Closing a Border Doesn’t Stop the Spread of Disease.

President Trump decided to stop all flights to the United States from Europe, except from the UK. What he really did was restrict entry into the USA by foreign nationals. Americans can still fly home from Europe, but they’ll have to self-quarantine for 14 days.

If viewed from his long-time goal of wanting to stop foreigners from entering into the States, he finally got his wish. But in doing so, ‘normal’ people, not just immigrants and militant jihadists, will be kept from spending time and money there.

And all because of a pandemic…

The ‘shocking’ thing is that COVID-19 is no respecter of a person’s position in society, either. Prime Minister Trudeau’s wife Sophie came back from the UK and started to feel unwell. Yesterday she tested positive for the virus. Now Justin Trudeau has to self-isolate, too. I wonder how Trump would feel if Melania were sick. Would he get tested? No.

And yet, people around the President are self-isolating out of ‘an abundance of caution’.

Says it all, really.

The Aspects of a Couple of Pandemics

Spanish Flu Epidemic 1918-19. U.S. school gymnasium converted into an flu ward with patients' beds a

Combating Spanish ‘Flu 100 Years Ago.

Would you like to see the common elements of two pandemics, more than 100 years apart? You’ll be surprised…

SpanishFluWREJC1

COVID-19StartWREJC2

These times are randomized, so not too much can be relied upon where the Ascendant and Midheaven are. But the other connections are on more solid grounds.

Mars Inconjunct Uranus

You have a tendency to be rash and impulsive, which may get in your way. If matters proceed too slowly, you are likely to make a sudden move that upsets the whole situation and forces you to start over again. You must learn to be patient if you want to achieve your objectives.

This energy may also be expressed as a hot temper[ature], especially when you have to endure restriction or limitation, such as sitting still in a classroom for a long time. You have a rebellious streak that needs to be disciplined, because everyone has to endure some restrictions, and it takes so little to trigger your temper.

Nevertheless, you need to find some outlet for your energy. It would not be good for you to hold it back totally, because if you do, you may be accident prone. Physical activity is a good way to use this potentially disruptive energy. However, because of the possibility of accidents, you should exercise reasonable care in any sport or other physical activity. Never work or play at anything remotely risky when you are angry, for example. Wait until you cool down. In fact, when you are angry it would be a very good policy to go off by yourself and venbt your feelings — scream and yell to your heart’s content! If you are able to blow off steam right away, you do not stay angry for long.

Sometimes you may make sudden moves that startle people. You may make a decision very quickly and start to act on it immediately, but that is not such a good idea. Make up your mind more slowly, or at least wait for a while until you start to act. If your idea still looks good a couple of days later, it is probably all right to go ahead with it.

Now Look at These Two Charts Together

SpanishFluWBAGE2

My attention went straight to the two planets that are closely conjunct between the two charts: Venus is around 14º Aquarius; and the Moon is around 6º Pisces. That cannot be a coincidence, or can it?

I’ve named COVID-19 the “Love” bug in order to build into its name the very thing that will ‘cure’ the disease. That’s Venus energy at its best. The Moon makes this widespread and emotional. Fear has entered into the vocabulary of the world’s population.

Whether we wish to see it or not, this is not the first time there has been a battle between our hearts and our minds. Nor will it be the last. How we approach this latest ‘strain’ of coronavirus will determine how we survive and grow with it. Honestly, the choice is yours: carry on, or stop living! The writing’s on the wall.

It’s Officially a Pandemic!

Paper-Plate-Love-Bug-Craft1-400x266

The “Love” Bug is Everywhere!

What I’d hoped to see, and what I am seeing, is that people the world over would begin to join together in sending love, light and hope to everyone suffering from COVID-19.

Whatever the source of this pandemic, and whatever its purpose here on Earth, whether man-made or alien, the result is a change in attitude by ordinary folk: gone is the complacency of “I’m alright, Jack” and Not In My Back Yard (NIMBY) and in its place is a concern for others, especially those who are vulnerable to its potential of death.

Lightworkers, everywhere, are linking together in meditation to send healing to the planet and its inhabitants. For example, Fountain International have scheduled a group meditation in Brighton UK on March 21st @ 3:30 pm GMT. The flooding of the spiritual airways with love will mitigate any negative effects on the people affected.

The infrastructure disruptions will continue, however, since the governments of the world don’t know how else to deal with the disease. The Pluto energy will continue to expose ‘dark’ dealings that have contributed to the plight everyone finds themselves in.

If this contagion was supposed to be fatal to only the Chinese, the reality is far different than the expectations of their enemies. Now it’s biting the Americans (and the rest of us in the West) on the bum. What goes around, comes around again.

Rapture or Ascension (or Both)?

2464_1

Heads, We Win! Tails, You Lose!

Sometimes, you have to look at both sides of a situation to make any sense of what’s happening. The COVID-19 crisis is a case in point.

People are dying out there!

There are many people who are looking for signs of the end of the world. If they are of a fundamental Christian persuasion this scripture is what they are guided by:

34 I tell you, in that night there shall be two [men] in one bed; the one shall be taken, and the other shall be left.

35 Two [women] shall be grinding together; the one shall be taken, and the other left.

36 Two [men] shall be in the field; the one shall be taken, and the other left.

37 And they answered and said unto him, Where, Lord? And he said unto them, Wheresoever the body [is], thither will the eagles be gathered together.

(Luke 17:34-37 KJV)

Now, compare and contrast this with the idea of  5D Ascension:

2019 Highlights: Warren Buffett vows to give away the majority of his wealth before his passing, donating copious amounts to the Gates Foundation and other charities and nonprofit organizations. Cosmos: Possible Worlds hosted by Neil DeGrasse Tyson airs on Fox and National Geographic. Progressives become more organized politically, and mindfulness is being taught in schools. There is an economic slowdown, and generally, the world realizes it cannot continue the way it has been. If a recession/depression does not befall the U.S. in 2019, the country teeters on the edge of one this entire year.

2020 Highlights: Reiki becomes mainstream, beginning to appear on more local, regional, and national news segments, and there is a massive explosion in the number of holistic wellness practitioners. The Earth begins to move physically into 5D, at this point in the 5D Ascension timeline. Spiritual awareness and consciousness continue to increase, and electric cars continue to become more mainstream, with Tesla producing at least 500,000 cars in 2020. Harriet Tubman appears on the $20 bill, replacing Andrew Jackson. In many parts of the U.S., solar energy becomes more cost-effective than electric.

They seem to be two sides of the same coin.

Conclusion

If you view this crisis through the lens of Christianity, people will be ‘caught up’ in the Rapture; in other words, leaving this world.

If you prefer a more spiritual viewpoint, the Earth is becoming energetically refined, and those that are not able to ‘Ascend’ with it will die.

That pretty much sounds the same, to me.

The Best Laid Plans…

sdg-banner

W.H.O. Sustainable Development Goals.

Have you really thought what COVID-19 could do to the economic and societal infrastructures of the world? It’s mind-blowing. The stock markets are already panicking.

China locked down a whole district and contained its spread, and yet the rest of the world caught the virus, however mild it might be for the majority of the population.

Does this remind you of a 2011 film called Contagion?

th261ONBTD

One of the posters, featuring just Kate Winslet, has the tag line:

DON’T TALK TO ANYONE. DON’T TOUCH ANYONE.

 

 

It’s a frightening thought, isn’t it? And that is the exact point of the whole exercise. Fear spreads far more rapidly than any disease. And if the purpose is to break our societies down, it can definitely do that, in spades (Italy being a case in point).

I know it’s hard not to think about this stuff, night and day, but the key to staying healthy is to focus on love and hope. We will survive this crisis, together!

First UFO “Flying Saucer” Sighting?

93542533kenneth-arnold02-jpg

Probably Not…

Kenneth Arnold probably wishes he’d never mentioned seeing these aircraft crossing the Cascades from Mount Baker, past Mount Rainier to Mount Adams. When he landed in Yakima, about an hour later, he made a report of the sighting, describing the aircraft motion as skipping like a saucer. That’s how the term “Flying Saucer” came to describe UFO’s after that date.

SightingFirstSaucerWREJC1

I decided to create this chart for the precise moment that the discs flew behind Mount Rainier. I wanted to see if there was anything ‘otherworldly’ about it. There isn’t.

This undated (perhaps faked) telegram explains how Arnold actually viewed this ‘event’.

arnold_gram

And why would he think these nine planes were the property of the government?

EOUfsswXkAEIdsn

There were a lot of ‘delta-wing’ aircraft being developed around that time. However, most hadn’t clocked the speeds of these nine.

Anyway, the whole country got into a ‘flap’ and the world has never been the same since.

What Good is a Deviant Mind?

original

Thinking Outside the Box.

I’m not sure why I need to write this post. Perhaps I feel that people are too hemmed in by social norms, or, more likely, legal constraints. And not for one moment am I suggesting that anyone should take part in a criminal act, either, but thinking ‘differently’ can sometimes lead to flashes of inspiration.

Deviant

Interesting word, isn’t it? A literal translation from Latin is “off the way”. In modern language, we’d say “way out”. And that’s what makes this such a perfect word for what I’m trying to write here. We need to look at thinking from a spiritual perspective.

When I was young, I was brought up to know ‘right’ from ‘wrong’. Life has taught me that nothing is ever ‘black’ and ‘white’. There is such a lot of gray in-between those two extremes that most of us actually reside there.

Identity Theft and Fraud

WhiteRabbit_Hampton_550_1_Charged-with-Federal-Identity-Theft-Who-You-May-Be-Up-Against

Our lives in cyberspace are fraught with trying to protect ourselves from identify theft and fraud. Some people won’t even use their credit cards online for fear that someone will hack the information and steal from them. And with all the cybercrime going on in the world, who can blame them?

But governments want us all to go paperless, to have online bank accounts, so that money can be paid to us more easily, or so they say. In truth, this is a Big Brother tip-toe (as David Icke would say). It would make it all the easier to control us, if they wanted to cut our access to cash.

But the criminal element see this one change as the way to the easiest pickings they’ve ever had.

Protection Advice

8-ways-to-prevent-employee-fraud

As stated before, I used to work in a Credit Union. During my time there, I saw many examples of employees (and others) trying to take advantage of loopholes and lax controls. But, in order to get ahead of the criminal element, I had to think like one.

This is when my mind went into overdrive, working out ways to defraud a financial institution. And, sometimes the muck, which one digs through to get to the truth, sticks to the digger. I’m sure you’ve seen enough TV shows and movies about bent cops to know this already. No one is exempt from temptation.

The Wellspring: The Clean Slate

Clean the Slate

4 March 1992

How has it been for you? How have you seen the future unfolding for the human condition? Have you seen and understood the principles for a uniting consciousness as a disruption and rejection of the world that has been, or do you see it as a uniting force that will make men work in harmony with one another?

In fact, it will be neither of these things.

The world that you have known is now coming to an end. It is as if all the components are being broken up, in order to be rebuilt. It is the time for the phoenix to rise out of the ashes of everything that will be destroyed.

We have already told you of the shaking up and the panning for gold, and the experiences of the next few years will be like that. The transition will only be easy if you are able to let go of everything that you have held on to — that need for security — and the insistence on comfort; but if you hold on too hard to what you have known, the ride will be much harder.

81FqzWu6ozL._AC_SL1500_

It is rather like the leaves falling from the tree: when the time has come, when the cycle has been completed, the leaves can fall gently of their own volition, down to the ground, and eventually settle with all the other leaves, full of all their colour and beauty in the autumn sunlight. But, other leaves will need to be shaken and blown from the tree, from that which has sustained and supported them in their time of growth. When they land on the ground they also are beautiful and colourful, with all their essence intact — but the sustaining moisture withdrawn — and together these leaves will form the compost, the fertiliser for next year’s growth, and be reabsorbed into the roots, into a new cycle.

This period for man is like the leaves shaken from the tree. The tree will still be there for the next cycle, the next year, but those individual expressions have fulfilled their purpose and are disconnected from the parent tree. And so it will be for you.

When the process of disconnection comes, there is no real regret for the leaf; it is all part of the pattern, part of the cycle.

quote-everyone-has-a-spark-of-divinity-inside-them-after-all-we-were-created-in-the-image-deepak-chopra-128-56-17

But, as with all the analogies that we use to enable you to understand the principles involved, you are not leaves, you are individual sparks of Divinity, you are creative Beings, but you are being released either voluntarily, or being shaken, or rattled, or forced to disconnect from that which has sustained you in the past. The process can be easy, or it can be difficult, according to how you perceive the need for that support.

But, still, what of the future? It is one thing to understand the process which is happening, but you also have a need to understand its purpose.

The purpose has been served of a certain growth, of development, of the human spirit. It is finished, it is over, it is done.

mock-up-blank-sheet-paper-vintage-typewriter-mock-up-blank-sheet-paper-vintage-typewriter-mechanisms-close-up-106816214

The future is a blank sheet, open to the possibilities and potential of that which has gone before, to rebuild from a clean slate.

You have the opportunities of a rebirth, without having to go through the birth process, with knowledge of all that has gone before, rather than from a blank mind or memory, as is experienced by an infant. You have the opportunity of taking all the components that are available to you, and creating something totally new. But, this time the Beings who remain here, rather than working against one another, in the new experiment or experience are to be working in union and harmony with one another, to see what can be created this time, with humankind working in joint consciousness.

The experiment of ‘individual ego’ is coming to an end, and the experiment of ‘joint consciousness’ is the next stage of evolution.

It is an exciting time to be here at the beginning: full of possibility, full of potential; not to be feared, not to feel any concern about. So, do not be surprised at the breaking up of structure, the tried and tested and proven ways are no longer safe. It is an opportunity of newness, of birth — not reconstruction — but creative construction.

This is what your future holds for you.
